Tour de France Stage 3 Wanze - Arenberg Porte du Hainaut, 207km

[Moose McKnuckles]

Kloden is riding exceptionally well. He's right up there next to Frank Schleck.

Break @ 50 seconds now. Cervelo taking a turn. Can Thor put it on Canc today?

 

[zapata]

sastre in front..

 

[Beech Mtn]

Kloeden looks stronger than Lance. He did yesterday too.

 

[iFev20]

Anyone spotted Cuddles? I keep seeing Hincapie, Cadel should be just behind him

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Cervelo all over the front now.

 

[Ferminal]

Cuddles seems to be the closest to the front of the heads of state, barring the Schleck train. All of them seem to be right up there though!

 

[BeachBum]

Roman Kreuziger too I think. Not down, Just stopped. Thats with a Japanese acent tho so can't be certain.

Belotti was the Liqui rider who stopped when Cunego went down, at least I saw the number 42 on the TV coverage.

Klöden flat tire

 

[Publicus]

The real cobbles are coming now.

I think it was belloti of liquigas that wass held up( I dont think he fell) not kreuziger... unless there was 2 liquigas guys there.. but i am sure it was number 42 which the start listt says is bellotti..

None of the guys seemed in such a big rush to get back going again.. I think they might be happy enough to be out of the peloton.



didnt see the fellow above pointed out bellotti before me :S

 

[DamonAlbarn]

Was that Cavendish sitting behind Hushovd

Can anyone confirm?

 

[Francois the Postman]

Home just in time, but it sounds like I'm lucky I missed that Schleck interview then, given my thoughts on the matter.

I used to root for the guy too, but I can see that relationship souring a bit.

Sorry for asking, but Gesink still with us?

 

[Zoncolan]

Kloden with a puncture

Thanks, my mistake.

good it would be nice if he could sneak under the radar then POW when they are not expecting it

 

[Beech Mtn]

Bunch looks nervous

Couldnt agree more - and the same I could say for Cancellara
EDIT - Camara showed cadel close to the front

 

[Scirea]

Roman Kreuziger too I think. Not down, Just stopped. Thats with a Japanese acent tho so can't be certain.

It was Bellotti from Liquigas.

Can anyone confirm?

The Columbia rider towards the front looked like Eisel, Cavendish was towards the back just before the cobbles, find it hard he would have been able to work his way up front through it.

I've seen him in the pack after the last cobble stroke, So I think he is still there. (unless he got a flat in between)

Peloton should be getting clear views of the break. Cervelo still pressing hard.

Agreed, the tour could be decided in the next 30km. If Conti does not lose time it is going to be tough for the others.

Okay.... Versus coverage absolutely blows. All commercials and little racing.
